As the first TV drama work of well-known director Wong Kar-wai, "Flowers" has aroused widespread attention and discussion since its launch. Personally, I'm also looking forward to this work, and finally after three full years of waiting, I recently had four episodes in a row, and I can't help but get excited. "Flowers" shows Wong Kar-wai's unique tentacles and talents, and definitely represents the highest level of domestic TV dramas. Here's what I had to say about the series.
In the first twenty minutes of the first episode, I was caught by the light and shadow in the play. Hu Ge's Ah Bao has changed from an ordinary young man to Mr. Bao of Shanghai, showing Wong Kar-wai's talent just by virtue of the transformation of a few shots and the change of light and shadow. In particular, the Yellow River Road in the 90s showed prosperity, ambition and atmosphere through Wong Kar-wai's unique lens language. Compared with the 90s Shanghai presented in other film and television works, it has a more realistic sense of age and is more immersive. I believe that not only I was shocked, but even Hu Ge himself was amazed by his image in the camera.
Compared with the previous business war films, such as "Breakout" and "The Great Game", the plot of "Flowers" is more exciting. The whole series begins with a tense and intense storyline. Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge was involved in the business war because of the ** thing, and the leak of the news of this ** ticket triggered a series of chain reactions. Everyone pointed the finger at Mr. Bao, from the big organization to the loss-making **, he must be held responsible. The plot of the whole business war is extremely fast-paced, which makes people nervous and exciting in the process, and truly feel the sinister of the shopping mall and the cruelty of the war. In particular, the appearance of the female boss Li Li played by Xin Zhilei added more highlights to the play. With her unique means and wisdom, she opened a luxury restaurant on the Yellow River Road and successfully attracted the celebrities and fortunes of Shanghai Tang. The business war game between her and Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge shows the charm of the series.
Although Hu Ge is the protagonist of the series, in the first four episodes, I think the most shining actors are You Benchang and Dong Yong. The old man played by You Benchang reverses his previous image and transforms into a wise Shanghai Tang uncle, and his every word is full of wisdom. Although Mr. Fan played by Dong Yong seems out of tune on the surface, he is actually thoughtful and successfully seizes the opportunity in the business war. In particular, the wonderful performance of this character in a scene left a deep impression.
Of course, other actors in the series also performed well, such as the boss lady played by Ma Yili, the good brother played by Chen Long, and Zheng Kai, Fan Xiangyan, etc. Although the series has only been in four episodes so far, and these characters have not appeared for much time, they have all been notable in their brief appearances. And Hu Ge's role has not really unfolded yet, and my expectations for the next plot are even higher.
Overall, I have a very high opinion of the TV series "Flowers". Wong Kar-wai's unique tentacles and light and shadow performance make the series unique, the tight rhythm of the plot and the excitement of the business war make the audience enjoyable, and the wonderful performances of the actors add to the charm of the series.
